Drew for antlered elk tag and did not harvest

Question:

I drew for an antlered elk tag last year in 2013 and did not harvest. Am I able to apply for a cow tag this coming year in 2014?

Answer:

Yes. The one year waiting period is for those who have drawn an antlered hunt and must wait one year to submit an application for an antlered hunt. You can submit an application for an either sex or antlerless hunt. Just make sure you do not submit an application with an antlered only hunt even as a second choice. Doing so would make your application ineligible in the drawing.
